PERSONAL APPEARANCES
Mr. Damaske and Libby Nolan appeared before the Board
requesting approval of the location of the buildings
for the Historical Park. The buildings themselves, the
Wollman house and grain binding building, have already
been approved by the Plan Commission.
Mr. Manchester moved to approve the site plans requested
by the Historical Society and Mr. Ussel seconded. Motion
carried.
OLD BUSINESS
Fishing at Idle Isle was discussed and Mr. Manchester
moved to request that the Rules, Laws and Ordinance
Committee change the present fishing ordinance to
restrict fishing to certain areas at Idle Isle. Karen
Wesell seconded the motion and it carried.
The Kaminski property was discussed and the following
points brought up. The land in question was appraised at
$1000.00 an acre. The Henneberry land adjoining the Kaminski
property was appraised at $850.00 per acre. Both individuals
want $2500.00 an acre. Mr. Manchester moved to place the
property on future park plans and Mike Weed seconded the
motion. Carried.
NEW BUSINESS
A request by the Jets Football League to use Mill Valley
on Mondays, Thursdays, and Tuesdays was discussed. It
was pointed out that the soccer program is requesting Wednes-
day evenings, September 19th thru October 24th for soccer
games, which would create a problem. Mr. Ussel moved to
grant the request to the league with Tuesday and Thursdays
specified. Karen Wesell seconded the motion and it carried.
Mr. Manchester moved to reserve the Mill Valley field on
Wednesday for soccer. Mr. Ussel seconded and the motion
carried.

Mr. Manchester then moved that the other week nights, with
the exception of Tuesday and Thursday, be reserved for
soccer. Karen Wesell seconded but the motion failed to
carry on a 4 no, 3 yes vote.
The Master Plan of Department Facilities was discussed
next. It was stated that LAWCON is no longer giving
matching funds so an additional $1700.00 more than budgeted will be needed. Since there is $1400.00 left after purchase of the Jeep, Mr. Manchester moved to use those funds from
the vehicle account and to allocate the $300.00 additional
to meet the $1700.00 needed, from another account. The motion was seconded by Paul Ussel and carried. (It was decided that the grills previously budgeted for would
not be purchased.)
It was noted that one bid from Milwaukee Fire Escape for
$687.00 was received. This bid was for reinforcement of
the fire escape at Jensen Center. It was agreed that
more price quotes should be obtained before any decision
is reached.
Price quotes on correcting the water flow to 1st base
at Horn Field were made available. The proposal would entail placing a manhole at 1st base side which would drain to the ditch. The quotes are Ozzie's Trenching- $1700.00 (4" line) and Hummer, $2079.00 (6" line). Mr.
Manchester moved to approve the Hummer proposal provided
surplus funds can be transferred to cover the cost. The
funds to be transferred would be from the welder funds. The motion was seconded by Tom Raimann and carried.
Refilling the CETA position available in the Parks Depart-
ment which ends in February was discussed. Mr. Ussel moved
to fill the position and Mr. Manchester seconded. The
motion carried.
A request by the MAA to store baseball equipment was
discussed. It was brought to the Board's attention that
the Horn building does not have room and that the rest of the buildings do not have any room available. Mr. Manchester moved to find room for the equipment and the decision as to where it should be stored be left to the discretion of
the Director and Parks Foreman. Mr. Raimann seconded the motion and it carried.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
A petition circulated by the MAA requesting the removal or resignation of the Board was introduced, so noted, and placed on file. D

The Director noted that the pie shaped area south of City Hall was a concern of his and that he wanted to
plant trees in that area. Later, a planter would be
added. Tom Raimann moved to develop a landscaping plan
for the area and the motion was seconded by Karen Wesell.
Carried.
An MAA 1980 baseball plan was submitted for consideration.
They suggest that the Parks & Recreation Department set
up and take down fields and that they also supply umpires
for the program. The Board directed Mr. Baewer to gather
information and total the cost of umpire fees, both for last season and the up-coming season.
PARKS ---
The Director reported that the Parks summer crew is now
gone and that the current three employees are now mostly
concerning themselves with maintaining the grass and
equipment, which is now in operating shape.
The well at Jensen went dry due to too much sediment in
the bottom of same. Problem is being taken care of.

wage schedule (See Memo Attached). It was suggested that
she develop a new proposed wage scale.

list submitted by Ms. St. Mary. Seconded by Karen Wesell

,a MEMORANDUM
TO Parks & Recreation Board
FROM Jackie RE Use of Mill Valley for Youth Soccer Program
On Tuesday, August 21st, registration for the Muskego Youth
Soccer program was conducted. At that time, 44 youngsters
attended the meeting. Since that time, we have registered
16 more youth who want to become involved, and I believe we will attract another 20 or so as the program progresses. I
feel this is an excellent number of participants, as it is
a new program instituted by our Department
I would like to ask of you at this time for permission to
make Mill Valley $3 (as it has lighting facilities) into a
soccer field, to be utilized on Wednesday evenings beginning
September 19th through October 24th and again in the spring
of 1980. We would also like to use it on the weekends or
weekday nights for team practice sessions.
The purpose of our program is to provide youth, ages 7 through
15, the opportunity to learn the fundamental skills of the
game of soccer during practice sessions and to further develop
those skills and learning experiences through game experience.
Thank you, and I do believe this will become one of our most popular activities.

l MEMORANDUM
TO Parks & Recreation Board
FROM Jackie
RE Wage schedule
1 would like for you to consider revision of our wage scale.
I personally feel that we can lower the percentage of increase
from step to step and still be able to hire qualified personnel for our activities. As the current wage scale is established,
the personnel receive a ten percent increase (some less, some more) from step to step. I feel for part-time help that a seven percent increase is enough. We would be able to cut back slightly in our salaries and wages by putting a lower wage scale into
effect.
Two things definitely need to be corrected, and that would be the fee we are paying our dance instructor ($10 OO/hr ). There
is no place in our wage scale under program instructor that allows us to establish this rate or to increase that rate in a year (or
whenever) Also the attendant wage scale should be reviewed.
We have several employees at the top of the wage scale-that is currently in practice ($3.05/hr ). Minimum wage is currently at $2 90/hr. If we could adjust that attendant wage, I feel we could establish our fees more appropriately
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
